I hope you are enjoying reading Bleak House by Charles Dickens - It was a very long read for me, but I did enjoy it. 🙂
ReplyDeleteYes, it is quite a commitment, and I am doing a terrible job reading it. I had two months to read it for my book club; we meet next Tuesday, and I'm only on chapter 9! I have been so confused. I am not much of a Dickens fan. A friend suggested listening to it, and that is what I started to do, but I'm still lagging. I know it is good, but I am in a whole different place in reading these days, and I am very distracted. :(
DeleteAw I am sorry to hear you aren't doing that well with Bleak House. While I really enjoyed it, it is one of Dickens' densest and most convoluted tale, so probably not the best one for someone who is not a huge fan of him! I hope you are able to do your best with it or move on to something easier and enjoyable for you. No shame in putting a book down. 🙂
ReplyDeleteAgree. You are right. It is the wrong time for such an essential book. I think I will put it aside and wait for a better time to read it so I don't end up hating it. I know my book club will understand. Thanks!
